Why Choose Us?

Your mental and emotional well-being is essential to your healing, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

At our transplant Wellness Center, you’ll have access to a dedicated team of licensed mental health professionals who understand the unique stressors of chronic illness and transplant care. Our team consists of psychologists and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs).

Psychologists conduct all psychological evaluations, while LCSWs provide compassionate therapy for individuals, couples, families and groups. Services are available in person and virtually, as well as inpatient and outpatient settings.

Therapy sessions provided by LCSWs are free of charge.

To schedule an appointment, ask your transplant coordinator or doctor for a referral. You can also call 210-358-1093.
